Buy Levels: If you want to get in on this trade, the ideal buy level for AAPL is around $223.

However, for those with a higher risk appetite, you can purchase half the intended quantity of shares of AAPL if it trades above yesterday’s close. This translates to a price of around $247.

TP: Our target prices are $240 and $260 based on the breakout from the Ascending Triangle pattern.

SL: To limit risk, place a stop loss near $213 (For entry near $223) and $241 (For entry near $247) Note that this stop loss is on a closing basis.

Our target potential upside is 5% to 17% in the next 4-6 months.

  • Entry near $223: For a risk of $10.00, the target rewards are $17.00 and $37.00. This is a nearly 1:2 and 1:4 risk-reward trade.
  • Entry near $247: For a risk of $6.00, our target reward (TP#2) is $13.00. This is a nearly 1:2 risk-reward trade.
